Didn't we have another thread a few months back on a similiar "government grants" scam. As I recall, that outfit also used a bank of rent a numbers from 202 Washington DC prefixes, in order to make victims think the calls were government related. I know there are dozens of these grant scam operations around. They are one of the top 5 scams du jour right now. However, I cannot seem to locate the prior thread. Anyone know where it is.?

This is a recision of an old scam I was called about last year. An east Indian Man called and said ' America wants to give you money just because you are a taxpayer'. I responded, 'This is America, and she does'nt give away money'. Then gave him dial tone.
